Problem with the screen resolution

Yesterday I upgrade my version of android (5.0 to 6.0) and, when I reinstall the game, all the buttons and the clouds are bigger, they fill more screen and its no playable as always. Like if the game change the resolution or something, but its not posible to change in the option menu.

I have to say that in 5.0 android version the game was working fine, all the buttons were in the correct size.

My smartphone has a 5,5 inch screen.

If anyone have idea or something i will appreciate.

Thanks.

    Hi @Joixxxe,

    The game will launch automatically with the best resolution for your screen, you cannot change that in the menu. If your screen is bigger, the graphics have likely been "upgraded".

    Hope that helps.

    same issue. Gone from sharp easy to use icons to massive GIANT ICONS.  Not sure if there is a bug in the resolution detector but I don’t want to play a game on iPad as though it’s an iPhone game.

    uninstalled!

    See I am unable to use full screen cannot even go for setting option

  • Ok, turns out this problem has existed for some time now. If you are on Samsung you should disable game launcher. It basically adapts to the best resolution, which isnt always good. You can disable it by going to settings>apps, then to scroll down to game launcher and at the bottom click "disable". Thats all i can do to help

  • I just installed SIMCITY BUILDIT on my Samsung Phone Galaxy S20 FE 5G.

    Everything is tiny - not fun. 

    I never had this issue on all my other phones.

    Please help.
